I always have extra swipes at the end of the semester. Would definitely use this! How would you handle different dining providers?

Top 3 Competitors Identified:

Swipewise — campus meal sharing (seed stage)
MealMe — food delivery aggregator
Too Good To Go — surplus food marketplace

Recommendation: Refine & Test

Strong user demand signal. Address the fraud/verification concern through a university partnership pilot. Start with one campus.

Clear demand — students confirmed they have unused credits
University partnership is the right distribution moat
Two-sided marketplace cold start is the key risk

We used InsightLab to survey 200 potential users before writing a single line of code. The competitor analysis alone was worth it — we pivoted our positioning and it worked.
